Man shot and killed by intruder in Encino home

An elderly man was shot and killed early Thursday morning during a home invasion in upscale Encino, authorities said.

Police arrived shortly afterward and found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
